Maybe that would be a good thing to integrate with google desktop (as a means of verifying ownership of the desktop, and creating synergy with that product)?<BR/><BR/>A.K.A. <A HREF="http://notmyopinion.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">notmyopinion</A> <BR/><I>(why can't I import my blog to blogger beta?)</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1161015774979759812006-10-16T09:22:00.000-07:002006-10-16T09:22:00.000-07:00I started using Google products in the summer of 2...I started using Google products in the summer of 2005 when a friend invited me to use Gmail. So far I have brought my parents and two dozen friends (and maybe some of their other friends, who knows) onboard because it is easy to use and not have to worry about deleting email. Also, I like the fact that the adverts are small and unoffensive. By the way, I have purchased things from the adverts -- an unlikely event with a big, annoying, flashing ad. I use the Google Calendar every day for personal and work-related appointments (I am an attorney and it is an excellent system, especially the reminders I get as text messages on my cell phone). I use Google Notebooks, and the Docs and Spreadsheets. I am not a tech professional so I enjoy ease of use. As a Mac user at home, I am also grateful that most things work well on a Mac (I would love a Google Desktop for Mac, guys, if anyone is listening). Bottom line: Google has made the web more entertaining for me and more productive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1160877656500284392006-10-14T19:00:00.000-07:002006-10-14T19:00:00.000-07:00I agree fully with the article.

My opinion is that if Google stays on their present course they will eclipse Microsoft and change the way the world works. I love having my files (calendar, spreadsheets, word processor documents) available on any computer with internet access. <BR/><BR/>I would however love to see Google have a sync program that would automatically backup for example a Google spreadsheet to your hard-drive in case you can’t access the Web and need a file.Stevehttp://www.calhountower.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1160876855697317942006-10-14T18:47:00.000-07:002006-10-14T18:47:00.000-07:00Totally agreed. :-)Totally agreed. :-)CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02334936756648727605noreply@blogger.com
